Fierce competition!

We love to play games in our family...and we love competition (provided it's healthy and no one gets hurt! ha ha) Well, Sweet-Pea has gotten much better at playing games now. The old Candy Land, Hi-Ho Cheerio, Snakes & Ladders, and Princess checkers have been laid to rest.

...moment of silence please...

Sweet-Pea now enjoys playing Clue, Uno, Sequence and other more 'grown up' games. She also has gotten a bit more competitive. Almost too competitive!

The other night she and I were playing Uno, the spin version - very fun if you've never played it. Well, check her out...she thought she was just 'all that'!!! Well OK, she was...she beat me BIG TIME, but she didn't have to flaunt it...did she?

Looking at her cards....


Scheming her next move...with a Draw 4 card! Ugh!!


Feelin' satisfied!


Gettin' ready to lay to yell Uno after putting down a card...


I changed the color on her and wouldn't you know, SHE WON anyhow!?!


Can you see how happy she was? See that competitive side of her?? She's a trip! I suppose if I have to lose to someone, I'm glad it's her!!!

Last night we started playing the American Girl Treasures Game...we are half way done and she's already winning, figures! It's a fun game to play on a dreary day like we're having today though...rainy and cold. After the game is done maybe we'll light a fire in the fireplace and watch a good old fashioned movie!

That is HILARIOUS!! I love the picture play by play. Too funny. My kids are quite competitive, too.

To funny :D
I am not very good at playing games with my kids because I don't play very nice...I blame that on my dad and Monopoly. :)

Thanks for stopping by my blog as always...I would totally help you out if we lived closer. ;)
Keep praying for my kids...looks like my little is starting to get sick and my middle guy keeps telling me his tummy hurts. I am hoping that I can do my appointment I have over the phone today instead of going in. Pray they are fine with it.

Enjoy your game and fireplace and old movies...sounds like a perfect day!
